Lose VPNs and you lose what’s left of the tech industry in this country. I bet that none of the people voting for this even realise how they’re using them already.

How who are using whom?

Everyone who uses the internet at all is using VPNs at some point in their experience. They just don’t notice it. They think of “VPN” as “specific commercial product used only for piracy” not “fundamental backbone”.

And these are kept alive by the current house of lords?

No, this is part of the “protect the CHILDRUN” bill that’s also currently being rushed through.

By Labour?

They’re supporting it, because they have forgotten what an opposition is for.

I’m afraid I don’t see what it has to do with a completely different and only as yet proposed bill.

Thank you Gus

May I endorse your note to brat producers?

My brats are, like their father, myopic. I am not and can read, for example, computer screens from quite a distance. Our PC and games monitors were situated within easy spying range of this brat producer and the brats simply could not imagine that I could have such super-human abilities. Fast forward to the easily covert use of modern tech and I don’t think that I’d be confident of keeping a (long-sighted) eye upon them.

OK, I can see some drawbacks, but it would be reasonably effective.

Dear twin

You produced children into a loving family

Not feral brats

So no need to worry about your children being guilty of nasty behaviour

I think that I was more concerned about my progeny suffering from the machinations of others - I am very glad to have been able to drag them up before stuff went so bad, tbh.

Political correctness? In a properly ordered world it would be common decency.
